PAGAN ALTAR “The Time Lord” CD Ep out 13/7/2012

After many delays we’re finally proud to announce that the official release date for PAGAN ALTAR’s “The Time Lord” CD EP has been confirmed for the 13th of July 2012. Pre-order your copy clicking on the button below!!


Cruz Del Sur Music is releasing this much anticipated EP for the European market in collaboration with Shadow Kingdom Records, which is responsible for the American edition. “The Time Lord” CD Ep features  PAGAN ALTAR‘s early material, written and recorded in between 1978 and 1979 across different studios, and later saved for posterity on cassette tape, the top quality audio standard at the time.

This release sees the light of day on CD format for the first time ever, having been  previously released as vinyl-only editions. The genuine 4-track original recording has been specifically remastered for the best CD sounding results.

“The Time Lord” is just the first in a series of re-releases of the entire PAGAN ALTAR’s back catalog.  These will hit the streets before the end of the year, together with the long-expected new studio opus “Never Quite Dead”.

Pre-orders of “The Time Lord” CD Ep will start today, Tuesday 26th June, and products will be shipped from July the 4th.

And if this was not enough, we have also reached BIBLE OF THE DEVIL’s guitarist Nate Perry to ask a few questions regarding this new, punishing album:

“For the love of thugs and fools” seems to be a tribute to the eerie world of rock and rollers and metal heads. We certainly know that BOTD has hit the road enough to be able to tell us a thing or two about them. Why did you come up with such an album concept?
Nate Perry – There’s a saying among people who write: “write what you know.” On this album, most of these song lyrics stay away from anything fantasy-based, which is pretty typical in metal and something we’ve dabbled in as well. But generally, when we’re working on a record, the first song we finish tends to set the tone for the rest of the writing.

PHARAOH “Bury the Light” CD and Vinyl Pre-order

Finally, the pressing plant has confirmed that the bulk copies of  PHARAOH’s “Bury the Light” CD have been shipped and will reach Cruz del Sur Music’s headquarers next week (transportation limited by bad weather permitting). We can therefore start taking pre-orders, which will be shipped approximately  from the 17th of February (one week before the official European release-date).

The album will be also available in a vinyl version, in collaboration with High Roller Records.
The release-date is set for the first two weeks of March (around the 10th), but due to the limited amount of copies available (150 on purple vinyl – 350 on black vinyl total), we will open pre-orders now as well. Read more “PHARAOH “Bury the Light” CD and Vinyl Pre-order”
